Vandalism and Behavior Policy
Various incidents over the past few years have caused the North Carolina Science Olympiad to adopt a very strict
vandalism and behavior policy. Schools participating in the B and C Division Regional and State Olympiads must
submit a copy of the Vandalism and Behavior Policy signed by both the coach and principal of the school. The
signed statement is to be submitted at the time of the on-site registration. Teams not submitting the Vandalism
and Behavior Policy will NOT be allowed to compete.
If a team member or members or persons associated with a team commit(s) an act of vandalism, the team will be
disqualified from the competition and will receive no points. No member of that team will be awarded a medal in
any event. An individual who commits an act of vandalism will be barred from future competitions.
Each sponsoring school must agree to pay the cost of repairing damage from any act of vandalism or theft. A
school must pay this restitution before it can register a team for the North Carolina Science Olympiad in a
subsequent year.
Vandalism means a deliberate action that results in damage to property. This includes, but is not limited to,
graffiti, damage to facility property and damage to the personal property of competitors, judges and spectators.
All trash left by the school should be deposited into large black trash bags and facilities used by teams should be
left exactly how they were found.
If the behavior of a school member or members or persons associated with a team is disrespectful to an event
leader, a volunteer, a regional director, or state office staff, the team may be disqualified from the competition and
receive no points. No member of that team may be awarded a medal in any event. An individual who is
disrespectful may be banned from future competitions.
I have read and understand the North Carolina Science Olympiad policy on acceptable behavior including the
prohibition of vandalism and discourtesy, and I have discussed this with the team members and persons attending
that are associated with the team, and will accept the consequences of violation of the policy as assessed by the
North Carolina Science Olympiad officials.
